Summary: The effect of secondary-phase precipitation on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of hyper-duplex stainless steel during solution treatment was investigated. It was found that the precipitation of sigma phase at lower temperatures resulted in brittleness and the formation of a Cr-depleted zone, deteriorating the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Cr2N precipitation at higher temperatures decreased plastic toughness but did not significantly affect the mechanical properties as the sigma phase. The sample treated at 1100 degrees Celsius showed the best mechanical properties and corrosion resistance as there was no secondary-phase precipitation.

Summary: The effect of aging at 923 K for up to 3000 hours on an S304H-type austenitic stainless steel was investigated. Aging for 100 hours resulted in the precipitation of M23C6 carbides mainly on the grain boundaries. Further aging led to a fast coarsening of these carbides, forming semi-continuous chains along the grain boundaries. This coarsening reduced the fracture toughness and increased susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. However, the uniformly dispersed NbC carbides and Cu-rich particles were less prone to coarsening under aging. The dispersion strengthening by carbide/nitride particles gradually decreased while that from Cu particles increased during annealing, resulting in a slight increase in tensile strength.

Summary: The low-temperature toughness of a 2205 duplex stainless steel produced through a thermo-mechanical control process is dependent on its microstructure. Compared to conventional processes, the thermo-mechanical control process results in finer austenite grains and higher toughness, effectively lowering the ductile-brittle transition temperature by 26 to 33 degrees Celsius. The fine austenite grains produced by the thermo-mechanical control process have been found to prevent crack initiation, improving the overall toughness of the stainless steel.

Summary: The research investigated the precipitation and phase transformation during the aging of a newly developed Mo-free lean duplex stainless steel. The study found that Cr2N and secondary austenite precipitated during aging, while the formation of sigma phase and carbides was suppressed due to the absence of Mo. Additionally, a zone of Cr and N depletion formed, leading to the consumption of primary austenite and formation of secondary austenite.

Summary: The effects of post heat treatment atmosphere on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel welded joints were investigated. It was found that nitride precipitates were observed in the welded zones of samples protected with nitrogen, leading to an enhancement of corrosion resistance after post weld heat treatment. However, when nitrogen was used as the heat treatment atmosphere, the corrosion resistance of the weldments decreased due to the presence of nitride precipitates. The hardness of the weld zone increased after post weld heat treatment, while the ultimate tensile strength and elongation significantly decreased.

Summary: The effects of post heat treatment atmosphere on microstructure and corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel welded joints were investigated. The results show that the use of nitrogen as the heat treatment atmosphere leads to the precipitation of nitrides, which decreases the corrosion resistance of the weld zone. On the other hand, using argon as the heat treatment atmosphere improves the hardness and corrosion resistance of the weld zone. Post weld heat treatment significantly decreases the ultimate tensile strength and elongation.

Summary: The study found that the precipitation behavior of hyper duplex stainless steel S32707 is affected by N content. N can inhibit the formation of the a phase by altering the quantity of 8/? interfaces, the diffusion tendency of Cr and Mo, as well as the nucleation driving force and Cr activity of the a phase. Additionally, N also promotes the precipitation of Cr2N.

Summary: In this study, laser beam welding technique was used to join AISI 2507 super duplex/AISI 317L austenitic stainless steels. The effects of heat input and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on surface, texture, microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The results showed that the weld metal exhibited a duplex microstructure, while ferrite and austenite grains were detected in the base metal. The increase in heat input led to a decrease in tensile strength, hardness, and bending force, but an increase in toughness values in the welded samples. PWHT resulted in a reduction in tensile strength and hardness, as well as changes in the microstructure and orientation relationships.

Summary: This study investigated the kinetics of sigma phase formation in hyper duplex stainless steel filler metal. Two kinetic models for sigma phase precipitation were developed and compared. Experimental results showed that up to 70% of the equilibrium volumetric fraction of sigma phase was achieved in 600 s. It was also found that a minimum cooling rate of 4 °C/s was required for sigma phase formation.

Summary: Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted to study the effect of secondary austenite on the fatigue behavior of super duplex stainless steel. The results showed that secondary austenite decreased the fatigue resistance of the material. Fracture surface analysis revealed that secondary austenite increased the probability of ferrite as a crack initiation source, which could be attributed to the change in ferrite/austenite interface relationship and elemental distribution. Additionally, the segregation of N enhanced the strength of secondary austenite, leading to earlier plastic deformation in partial ferrite during the fatigue deformation process.

Summary: Through secondary cryogenic treatment, the mechanical properties of Ferrium S53 ultra-high strength stainless steel are improved, with enhanced combination of strength and impact toughness. This enhancement is primarily attributed to the refinement of martensitic hierarchical structures and M2C precipitates, as well as elimination of metastable reversed austenite.

Summary: This study investigates the anisotropic behavior of super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) thin-wall components fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). The results show that the mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors of WAAMed SDSS are anisotropic, which are caused by the differences in crystal features due to the repeated thermal cycles inherent to the WAAM process.
